A delightful twist on the classic sweet and sour pork, these pork bites are flavorful, easy to prepare, and perfect for a family dinner.
Combine the ground pork with cornstarch, egg, and light soy sauce in a mixing bowl until well mixed.
Mixing with your hands ensures even distribution of ingredients.
Form the pork mixture into small balls and place them on a plate.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking.
In a small bowl, mix dark soy sauce, tomato paste, sugar, vinegar, and pineapple juice to prepare the sauce.
Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth sauce.
Heat oil in a wok over medium heat and cook the pork balls until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the wok.
Add the onion, green bell pepper, and carrot to the wok and stir-fry until tender-crisp.
Cut vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Pour the sauce into the wok and bring to a boil while stirring.
Keep stirring to prevent the sauce from sticking to the wok.
Add the cooked pork balls back into the wok and stir to coat them in the sauce.
Simmer briefly to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the pork bites and vegetables over steamed rice.
Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
